lets revisit decapping - new method

showing off a better process, and decapping 5 different part number injectors and showing how i do it etc. there will be a follow up for how much they flow and how they work etc etc
you guys have any questions on this process or whats going on here ill do my best to answer everything
if you would like to contact Eric Derr to have some injectors flowed and tested email him at [e-mail]

[@kwamechery5232]

A segment where Matt revisits old topics... I dub thee... Sloppy Seconds!

[@TMFW]

I so hope he starts doing this more and calls the series exactly that.

[@chriskubond6314]

Genius!!!

[@TreadTalk247]

So glad you shared this video, we are installing a Supercharger on our Suzuki Hayabusa and it requires decapping the secondary injectors! I’ve never done this before but after watching this video I feel much more confident in the process! Thanks again!M

[@garybaumann5637]

I used my 1/2" cordess drill. Opened the chuck all the way and they slipped right in up to the stops. The oring gave just enough tension so they didn't slip. No wobble at all. Worked great. Thanks for the tip Matt.

[@jtc18]

Hey Matt , ''twas myself who sent you the video of this method. Glad it works well for you, Iam a welder by trade and all about workin smart not hard.... I did a couple by hand and thought, eff that! I actually use a lathe chuck for rolling pressure pipe and so I clean the ends of the pipe with essentially the same method. Happy decapping!

[@jtc18]

Not sure if I should take this serious or not but if your shop relies on decapping a few injectors , I think you had better re visit your business plan. Hence the reason people are taking it upon themselves to DIY.

[@southjerseysound7340]

Hell if his shop depends on guys running decapped injectors I think he needs to find a real job lol

[@joshamy39]

Thats a great way to do that thanks for sharing with us

[@dougbertInExile]

this works great. Takes more time to remove the cap and oring and put in the socket than it takes to grind off the top. Great knowledge

[@Calvin-Nelson]

Good to see you testing out the decapped flex fuel injectors. I installed some on my project, and have been running them for about a year. They work great!

[@shitbox7413]

“Nice work, you did a nice job, you’re a master technician.” 😄👍🏻

[@SloppyMechanics]

i wont call the cops

[@christopherryan9864]

@8:26 For taking the caps off, I use a worn out set of side cutters and just lift them off in a single motion. Instead of closing them like your'e cutting with them, just have them half-cocked open the top blade of the side cutter over the top of the cap to pin it down while the bottom side of the cutter lifts it over that ridge that keeps the caps in place. I can do a video too if it would help over my explanation. When I asked Eric about it, he replaces those and chucks them in the trash, so don't worry about saving the old caps and re-installing them.

[@TurboEverything]

this is great and will save me a bunch of time and money on my suburban build.

[@latemodelGM]

The background music and commentary really make this video fucking amazing

[@SloppyMechanics]

Haha thanks

[@latemodelGM]

Sloppy Mechanics anytime man love the videos

[@F1James64]

Only a true IT Professional would leave the keyboard right next to the grinding wheel! LOL Matt

[@SloppyMechanics]

Correct having access to thousands of them really puts their value below toilet paper

[@AGuysGarage]

lucky sob's lmao, love ur vids dude. been watching since the mega squirt days. Injectors look minty fresh, thanks for sharing.

[@TriniRogue]

Nice work, you're like a master technician xD

[@davelogan77]

came for the content, stayed for the music and commentary.

[@james10739]

I did not think about the keeping the oring and using a socket but I have more or less done that with other things but 2 things a 1/2 should be slightly smaller than a 13 so not tearing up the oring seems of it's like 12.6 mm I believe but I was thinking that tool u believe it's called the unibur on the internet would be awesome for that job

[@dougbertInExile]

wonderful timing and content. I have 16 truck ***628 25 lbs/hr injectors, just waiting to be decapped and to send to Eric now. I am currently running 2010+ flex (12613412) on the truck now (with delphi to EV6 converters) and they are stock 50lbs/hr. Looking forward to what your flex flow at. When I get the 628s back, I will install those and then decapp and send the flex ones off to eric. This video is very timely to me. Thanks 1,000 count of .001"

[@mikemaccracken3112]

I like that method much better. Thanks Matt.

[@JustinSpenst]

I just used a normal pair of slip joint pliers and walk it back and forth while pulling and they come off easy.

[@AaronHardinPhoto]

Dude you crack me up (made it to the zoomed in portion).

[@danclare5526]

Your videos are on point!

[@Thee_Magic_Man]

Basically what ID does to the bosch injector. They make their own end caps and then run break in the injector then flow them to match them up.

[@klosnoski]

This is NEW to me. Just what does de capping do? And if and what how does it affect duty cycle?

[@bobberbuilder6122]

Just gotta love the talk show radio host voice lol

[@SloppyMechanics]

ill take that as a compliment

[@Ribbityibzki]

Try some hose grip pliers for removing the plastic caps. They look like needle nose but the ends of them make a circle for gripping hoses to pull them off of nipples and such. HFT sells a set of three for pretty cheap.

[@BigFun4Life]

Great info thanks for sharing......

[@joshdrew3247]

*Skips ahead* "Congratulations on making it to the zoomed in portion of today's video, you lucky sons of bitches." Made my day right there.

[@james10739]

Ya I'm not sure if I am going to do much with my suburban but it's 03 and flexfuel and I believe the computer says they are like 33lb injections but I did order some off eBay that are supposed to be off a newer like 09 6.2l flexfuel which if that's all true I believe they are like 50 something lb injections which would be great for just about any naturally aspirated build and was thinking about decapping them for a turbo build or maybe an lsa supercharger

[@andrewss190]

Great tips , thanks for sharing .

[@postmortemspasm]

dude get a bench belt sander haha. nah good vid though. thanks for upload. hi from straya

[@mrniceguy351]

Maybe you could hold the end of the injector in a ring spanner to hold it steady??

[@sub1ful]

Nice video man. I am from Brazil. Sorry for my English. Have you tested the flow? Not just improof but if they are equal to each other

[@SloppyMechanics]

Yessir I explain in the video that I send them out to get flow checked and matched, wich is why I recommend getting 16 done so in case some aren’t great you still get a set

[@davy1458]

You remind me of an LS Mr Rogers.....all you need is a toy Camaro that takes us viewers thru a tunnel to a land of hand puppets.

[@whippleremote1548]

Can srt4 stock injectors be de-capped?

[@jm361]

You could've and still can use a ratchet wrench on the side that you are grinding.. That way use can use a push/pull control method with out using your fingers (on the nozzle side) as a guide while holding the injector on the grinder!

[@docfischer7291]

Bottle cap opener (or POP bottle cap for the northerlies) for the plastic . I took a little angle out of one . Zing zinger away !

[@callmetree19]

Do you think you can de cap a Honda Grom injector or a cbr300r injector and see an increase in flow?

[@SloppyMechanics]

does it have a cap? why not try it out and send it in and see for yourself

[@trentstubbs]

harbor freight calipers fit in the oring groove and make an excellent pintle hat popper

[@RickyBobby-kg4zu]

I have a question Matt. If I decap a set of stock truck injectors are they all going to flow the same or do I need to flow test each one. I was told decaped injectors don't always flow the same, but I don't know if that's true or not... Thanks

[@SloppyMechanics]

they "should" be all the same, but mileage, dirt, and the decapping process if done incorrectly can make them not even. the percentages are also off a little big injector to injector, this is why people usually decap 16 and send in the whole set and have someone match

[@RickyBobby-kg4zu]

@@SloppyMechanics Ok, thanks for the reply. That's what I'm going to do, I'll just send two sets to Mr. Eric Derr for testing and matching

[@blindabinda1234]

It might work better using a regular drill with a tighten able Chuck and just tighten the drill Chuck right to the injector.

[@paulbald2]

Would it be better to use a regular drill with a chuck?It would center it and not wobble as much.Just don't crank it down.

[@jesusm2797]

Can you use e85 on the regular (non flex) truck injectors after decaping them or do you have to have the flex fuel injectors in order to use e85? Thanks

[@SloppyMechanics]

Yes, the “flex” injectors are just slightly larger to accommodate ethanol, they’ll both run ethanol

[@jesusm2797]

@@SloppyMechanics thank you sir

Matt, I have absolutely loved every one of your videos!- and I make a point to press the like button every chance I can-while i don’t think I could ever“dislike” one of your vids-I couldn’t press like on this one even though I REALLY appreciated the content as always. It’s because of that stupid LOUD background music as you’re trying to describe what you’re doing. Hell I think I would have rather had heard the screaming grinder !!!I’m one of those people that have really appreciated your efforts of not blowing a radio in the background. (even though you really would rather have it on to keep you sane as you said ha ha)Another thing that I have liked and appreciated is that you let the video run and not time lapse it:-))). But PLEASE PLEASE don’t”” fall for “”thinking you need to add that damn annoying music in the background as you’re describing what you’re doing. Please! I feel like if Whoever is watching your videos and is board or can’t keep up their excitement level in what you’re performing alone and who” needs that “stupid LOUD music needs to go watch someone else’s Channel-are you rock keep up the awesome work. Oh-and I’ll just go ahead and say it now you could totally have a “reality show”. Better than gene simmons or ozzy ever were! Lol Just my two cents- thanks for listening to my rambletron hahaha

[@Labergemusic]

Matt I swear to god I'm still gonna LS swap something sometime. Probably gonna be a panther platform car but it's gonna eventually happen.

[@bobberbuilder6122]

I watch the shit out of your vids I love what you do for such little money

[@62saki91]

what is the flow difference between capped vs uncapped?

[@SloppyMechanics]

Usually 3x

[@sheldonvanek9791]

very nice looking way of decapping injectors, but it6 seems to take a little longer to decap injectors

[@SloppyMechanics]

Longer than?

[@sheldonvanek9791]

how I saw you do it before

[@8wireracing694]

Perfect

[@freedomfighter1000]

put in on a lathe and make two revolutions and simply cut the cap at the weld...

[@happytimes724]

Does this help for a stock engines????

[@Dezzylyricz]

In your personal opinion do you believe the LS is really the better V8? What are your options about the 5.7 hemi?

[@JoeHynes284]

he has always stated the LS is superior because of availability of parts and cost. Fords and Dodges do not have anywhere near the availability since so many LS platforms exist going back to 96, at least thats what I think

[@michaelcreger2127]

How much did the trailblazer i6 60mm injectors flow?

[@camruncarr]

Around 75# at 4bar i think

[@SpeedrunTnRC]

If I take my Fitech efi and do this will I get a slightly higher hp capability ?

[@zekeil]

They need to send you some Milwaukee banners and swag.

[@jasona1599]

9:44 moment of clarity for me lol

[@matthewfredrickmfkrz1934]

Decapped flow test results?

[@tanknikki1]

can you use an injectors after you decap them.

[@sexyfacenation]

No. You post them away them they are gone. That's the process.

[@brasspick]

How does this affect MPG's?

[@flatroc1]

I'm still really wondering what the point of decamping the injectors is ... What is the benefit ?

[@antuanperez426]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@victorechevarria8478]

Where are you located I would like you to work on my truck on tuning

[@jaxturner7288]

Using a drill instead of an impact would eliminate most of the wobble

[@fishingsgreat]

What you don't have a Milwaukee angle grinder? I think it's time Milwaukee step up

[@SloppyMechanics]

not yet!

[@blindabinda1234]

I have one of the cordless Milwaukee grinders. They are awesome for cutting thin sheet metal or very small amounts of grinding. If you try to put any kind of force into grinding it will automatically stop and make some clicking noise. I think it's a safety thing for the lithium ion battery or something maybe.

[@woofer2121]

Is it brushless?

[@blindabinda1234]

Edward Grindstaff yes. Don't get me wrong it's an awesome tool. But if your grinding welds or something like that it's not really made for that. You can't use a cup style wire wheel either cuz it will self stop it self and make this like clicking noise.

[@blindabinda1234]

Edward Grindstaff but generally when I'm using a grinder I'm welding or working on dump trucks and heavy steel so something a lot more powerful is needed.

[@-CLASSIFIED-]

shit son ill have to try this when i get around to boosting my motor #cheaplife

[@THESNAKE8]

How? Half inch is 12.7mm...not sure how a 13mm is beating up an o ring and a half inch doesnt when one is smaller.

[@SloppyMechanics]

cant explain it, showed it, sorry

[@whatevermechanics]

Shit man, that’s a nice job

[@HalfbackZach]

Round two

[@SloppyMechanics]

accidentally missed 3 minutes in the export loop from the beginning, whoops!

[@MrTydriver]

Today's word of the day is "Blendering".. LOL

[@69bigsho]

besides destroying the injector what does it do is add performance

[@KevinBigg]

Wheres the milwaukee grinder?!

[@SloppyMechanics]

I don’t have one! Haha

[@thetriode]

Why don't you make a "U" shaped fork to pop them off? I bet some 1/8 steel plate and a grinder would be pretty easy to make.

[@BlaserBuilds]

thetriode Won't work... The caps are friction/spot welded to the end so that would just bend the edges of the cap up.

[@wainfiggitty]

a21bravo I think he was referring to the plastic tip that Matt was having difficulties with

[@BlaserBuilds]

wainfiggitty Ahh, in that case a thin 10mm slides right over and pops em off good.

[@ernestomejia110]

What is eric's contact info?

[@SloppyMechanics]

Added to description

[@enemymetalworks]

ever try decapping an aftermarket injector? let's say you're running out of fuel on deka 80 pounders and don't want to go buy bigger ones lol

[@SloppyMechanics]

80lb dekas have no cap to remove

[@ttsupra87]

You need a bench grinder bad bud

[@SloppyMechanics]

I seem to be doing OK without one lol

[@ttsupra87]

Sloppy Mechanics as proven here. Guess it wouldn't be sloppy without rigging and making it work right? Who needs proper tools?? Lol

[@wobblysauce]

Ultimate flexibility, atm.

Maybe Milwaukee will send him one?

[@ttsupra87]
